Hostel staff were kind enough to give me welcome drink when checking in. I could rent a bicycle for 100K/24h, so I could go to Blue Lagoon 1 and Tham Chang Cave on my own. Morning Market is held near this hostel. Breakfast was good.

All in all great hostel

I had a really good time here! It was great hostel, very clean, comfortable and safe. I met many awesome travellers there, it was good place to socialize. Free whiskey everyday from 7-7.30pm! Downstairs there’s a small locker for your valuables, at room there is no locker. Only downside in my visit was this tubing tour that I booked from the lobby because I was told that I would be joining this other group (who had done some ziplining before) and that was why I booked it because there were two of my friends. But that wasn’t the case and I didn’t see them until back at the hostel at night and I’m pretty sure the guy at the lobby knew that but he told me differently.

Bra hostell for en billig penge

Her får man et relativt bra hostell for en billig penge, og frokost er inkludert. Servicen var god og de var hjelpsomme i resepsjonen. Standarden var grei, men rommene ganske trange. Alt i alt et fint sted å bo hvis man vil møte backpackere og bo sentralt i Vang Vieng.

Enjoyed my stay and the hostel staff were 100% helpful in making sure all guests are taken care of. Would also provide helpful recommendation on things to do while you are in town. Do note that you will need to bring your own lock if you wish to use the locker or it would be chargeable. A cheaper laundry service can be found in the alley on the right when you exit from the hostel.

Auberge de fêtards

Pour les voyageurs qui cherchent un peu de calme, ce n'est vraiment pas un bon choix. L'auberge est plus destinée à ceux qui veulent faire la fête et rencontrer d'autres backpackers voulant profiter de la vie nocturne de Vang Vieng. La literie est plutôt confortable et les douches/toilettes sont assez propres. Un petit déjeuner est proposé, même s'il n'est pas franchement extraordinaire.

Til de drukglade

Hvis man har planer om bare at tage ud og drikke og sove hele dagen væk, så er det det optimale sted at sove. Da vi kom kl. 11 om morgenen op på vores 14-mands værelse, lå stort set alle stadig og sov, der lugtede dårligt og der var bræk på toiletterne. Men om aftenen er stemningen fedt, og der er mange gode gå-i-byen muligheder

Loved VVBH! Great price for a well-kept hostel, good breakfast, and social atmosphere. It may be difficult for some to sleep because there's usually lots of socializing/partying going on downstairs, but it didn't bother me. I'd stay here again. (:

다니면서 불편한 점은 없었습니다. 직원도 친절하고 숙소 자체는 좋았습니다. 방 시설이며 기타 사항은 가격만큼입니다. 제 방엔 개미가 많아서 짐에 들어가 불편했는데 그거 하나 제외하곤 가격 대비 훌륭했습니다.
